Please see the photos for the complete list of contents. From the back cover: "The world of marijuana.comes vibrantly alive in this fact-filled, fascinating story of our nation's love-hate relationship with a resilient weed variously known as grass, pot, or dope. Its pages are peopled with the 'heads' who discovered and spread the use of marijuana as a recreational drug - the sailors, jazzmen, entertainers, blacks and Mexicans, poets and beatniks - as well as their antagonists in the Bureau of Narcotics, headed by Harry Anslinger, who sought to drive grass underground. Here is an informative and entertaining kaleidoscope of America's longest-running and most disobeyed prohibition, an epic tale of how Government bureaucrats created a climate which turned twenty million users, at least technically, into criminals." Condition: Light soiling to the back cover; there is a hole-punch near the top-right corner of the front cover. Tight binding with no cracks and no loose pages. Nice interior - the pages are mostly clean and white with only a few tiny stain specks on the last page. Overall the book is in Good+ condition. Seller Inventory # ABE-1660068693160
